The ATV Bancomat Tennis Open WTA125 is back, and so is Follador Prosecco dal 1769, which will be the technical sponsor of the 16th edition of the prestigious international women's tournament, taking place at the Circolo Antico Tiro a Volo in Rome from July 13 to 19, 2026.

" Our wines are an expression of elegance, passion, and a connection to the territory: values that blend perfectly with the spirit of this sport and the prestige of this tournament ."

Now in its 16th edition and organized under the patronage of the Lazio Region, Rome Capital, the Metropolitan City of Rome, Sport and Health, and FITP, the tournament has established itself over the years as one of the most prestigious events on the international women's tennis scene.

The event thus confirms its status as a highly prestigious event, combining sporting and competitive values with strong social commitment, in a week entirely dedicated to top-level tennis. Now an integral part of Italy's elite sporting events, the event continues to capture the attention and enthusiasm of an ever-growing audience.

The Follador sparkling wine line stands out for the finesse of its bubbles, the result of the Metodo Gianfranco Follador®, an exclusive winemaking process that maximizes the value of the Glera grapes grown on the UNESCO World Heritage hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene. This produces products that bring the excellence of Made in Italy to the world, finding their ideal place in refined and highly attractive settings like the ATV Bancomat Tennis Open WTA125.
